Design thinking is an innovative way of thinking and solving problems in which the focus is on the user. This paper provides an overview of current research on the topic to gain insight into current practices and create a basis for further development of the area. Synthesis of knowledge is presented through historical development, methodology, and processes used in the field. The methodology used is a desk-research method through which a comparison of the literature was conducted. According to the results of the research, we can conclude that there is still no harmonized definition of design thinking. Therefore, due to the rapid development of this field, it is necessary to synthesize the latest research. Also, it is important to provide expert designers with specialized books and tools since the problems are becoming more complex, and designers with competencies required to solve such problems are needed.
